This gadget is used to tighten a wire that supports a fence near the Visitor Center in Point Reyes. I'm sure you can figure out how it works. Something about it attracted me, and on three occasions I stopped, thinking I should photograph it. The third time was the charm! Now there are two possibilities. The gadget is either worth a spot in a modern art museum, or else I'm beginning to lose it!
Believe it or not ~ I found the device on the Internet. It is properly called a Wire Tensioning Device, made by Leader Evaporator, Inc., and sells for $5.95! Leader, established in 1888, serves the maple sugar industry. I live (fortunately) and learn.
